Re: 1992 Tree Kira VTC 30 Too Much Voltage Problem
I agree with Craig, who knows what damage was done with that amount of high energy overvoltage. If the machine is mechanically sound then it is probably a good investment. Given that what the seller has there right now is a boat anchor, that brings the price down to about scrap price. Get it as cheap as you can. Maybe just offer to haul it off for him for proper disposal. I like to buy mechanically sound machines that have toasted controls. The controls are the cheap part today.
I have a very low tolerance for antique controls, and especially antique Fanuc controls. There are many modern options available at reasonable prices.
